The third expedition to map out The Loop Dallas. This leg K2 and I started at Trinity Groves and took the Skyline to the Santa Fe Trestle. The idea was to connect up with the Trinity Forest leg we had done earlier. Along the way we enjoyed a stop for lunch (and beer) at Manhattan […]

There was always a camera around our house and on our family trips. It was about capturing those moments of shared history. That Kodak 620 laid a foundation of taking pictures. My first camera was a Kodak Brownie 127. Along the way there were others including an Exacta or two, and several Canons. The most

The second in our connect-the-dots of the Dallas Loop Trail series. We started at the Ridgewood end of the trail and headed into the city. Across the UCT (University Crossing Trail) to Glencoe Park near SMU and on to the Katy Trail. It really bridges the gap between the suburban and the urban–going from the

After a fun and change-filled year in 2023, I am again looking forward to an interesting and, hopefully, fun 2024. Unlike last year, I am inclined to do fewer cycling adventures.

Our first discovery ride of The Loop Dallas. K2 (Kristi Kerr) found me at a holiday party. She knows me to be a cyclist and she wanted to explore the all of The Loop Dallas. In sections, mind you. On e-bikes. With stops. Here’s the first segment we navigated: The Trinity Forest and AT&T Trails.

When I heard about The Loop Dallas it conjured up thoughts of the Huckleberry Loop in Tucson. Then when K2 approached me at a holiday party that clinched it. I guess I’m going on a series of bike rides with a naturalist to discover this new ring of the city. OK I’m in. “Let’s start

I had to do something. So on went the Hoka hikers. I picked up Sal’s leash and we were off. That was at the end of March. By June I was better but my approach to cycling had changed. No longer was I hell-bent to ride 50 miles on a road bike at 20 mph

There it hangs. Waiting for me. At my son’s house. A road bike. “Why,” you ask? Well, first of all, he’s a mountain bike guy living in a place where there are hundreds of miles of paved trails and roads just tailor made for this narrow tired bike. But he’s an off-road guy. So the
Most weeks our Saturday is comprised of a set of activities connecting us to our very local community. This week, we took a turn into a new community and ended up sitting at a new table. A short drive in East Dallas took us to Ethiopia. Really. First, though, we made our walk to the

As I look back on this sabbatical I find I’ve been through a whole range of emotions and done quite a bit of sorting. And a few facts: Drove over 3,000 miles Walked nearly 100 miles in the 40-some days Visited just about every bike shop, independent coffee shop and brewery in the metro area
